Dear Family,
Today is my first P-Day. Its goona be hard to hold it all week ha ha. the MTC is great. im learning tonsd here and its amazing. i thought i knew a lot before coming, but i realized i knew next to nothing and i have a lot to learn. i really enjoyed your last letters, especially CASIDY'S with the purple envelope and pink pen. keep sending them. its good to get letteres even in the MTC. i can only write you on tuesdays though, i would like to write you every day i cant. i think i forgot to mention in my last letter that their are 4 elders in my district going to the Pocatello ID mission! their names are elders call, floyd, Taylor and Davies. you should diffently look to see if they are in Rexburg and you can tell them embarrasing stories about me when you see them. i just did laundry for the first time. and it was a very interesting experience. elder michener and i combined our darks and colors together so we could get a full load, but all of us in the district had a full load of whites. that laundry bag you got for me is HUGE!!! i really hope i do not ever fill it up because that would be A LOT of laundry! i went to the Prvo temple today for the first time, and it was really good, i really enjoyed it. im now writing from the devotional floor, where elder daryl h. barn of the 70. hopefully next week we have an apostle come speek with us, but it does not matter, we get instructed really good anyway. well like i said in me e-mail, send me lots of letters via dear elder.com. i love you and ill send tou a letter and e-mail next week.
love elder blacker

Another letter
Hey! I can e-mail you now!! But only once a week and for a half hour, sokeep sending me those letters. So how are things in Rexburg? Its actuallyreally nice down here in Provo so far. There's been some rain today, butother than that, sunny skys and at least 50 degree weather the whole timeI've been here. Today's my first P-Day, but I'll tell you more about that inthe letter I started writing today because I didnt think I'd be able to getin the computer lab to set up the email. I do still need the hymnbook andthat other thing I told you about in my first letter. And write to me!!!!There's actually a site called DearElder.com that lets you write like anemail, but I get a printed out version as a letter, and the best part isthat while I'm in the MTC it's free!!!! So you all need to write me goodletters and I'll get them all together next tuesday and answer any questionsand tell you how I'm doing. I've got to go now, but I'm sending you a letterwith all the details in the next few days, so look forward to that. Love, Elder Blacker

We got the first letter from kent today.
I miss you all already and it has only been one day. But it has been o.k. because they have keept me really busy. after you left they took me down a long line in a long check-in process.
they took us all and formed a long line outside some rooms in the same building and we went into the room and got a little envelope with a bunch of things in it. fist was a blue peice of paper that has instructions about this blue card we use to get all kind of things down here. we use it for meals, getting into the dorms, and its kinda like a debit card too, they reload it with 6 dollars every Wednesday so you can use it to buy things from the book store, get hair cuts. or do dye cleanning even. I also got my proselyting liscense and a new adress card. In the envelope too was a key to my dorm and a another tag. on the front of my envelope was my classroom number my dormroom number and my compainion's name. his name is Elder Michener and pronounced like Mitch-ner. He is a relly good guy and a convert from cA. After i got checked in they told me to find my room then get my luggage so i did that and was the first one in here. afteer sitting for a bit i met another elder in my room named elder Fielding from firth. well we talked then unpacker then we had another meeting with all the new missionaries and that was good then we had dinner and went to a branch meeting with my district. now we are just having quiet time which is when you study/pray/ do whatever you need to do. It is almost lights out so ill send you another long letter next tuesday which is my P-day so untill then see-ya.
LOVE
